Food and Drink Of the Russians.

The Russians are a nation Of tea
drinkers: coffee is rare; teais universal,
and universally good The best lea
ever drank was IN Russia; they drink Il
st al hours, and without regard to
neutrality-suspicious. ten cups at sit
ting, snd yet apparently, with impunlty,
Brass urns, in which tea water Is boiled
by means of charcoal fire, are found
over all the empire; they are called
sanovars. and find it important to
include in MY Russian vocabulary the
word -samovar.7 Their method OF
making and drinking tea has been no
ticed by all travellers in their country
They claim that water at the boiling
point Is destructive to the good quail
ties Of tea, so they draw their tea with
water just below that point. They use
thin glass tumblers. with ordinary sau-
GERS; sometimes the women use cups,
but the men never the tea is poured
into saueers, which are held ON the up
turned ends of the thumb and fingers
of the right hand; milk and cream are
rarely used. block of cut sugar 10 held
in the left hand from which they nib
bic pieces, as they slowly sip their de-
licious, wine colored tea.
These people are called by the Ger
mans the aOnion Russians because of
the quantity Of onions they eat; they
might, with more propriety, be called
a nation of cucumber eaters. Cueum-
bers are raised in great quantities, Of
excellent quality, and may be found
picked, anywhere between Behrlng
| Straits and the Baltic. Cucumber wa
ter is a fayorite hot weather beverage
or. if you will permit a Celtieism, they
make their lemonade from cucumbers
This light beverage, however, is no
sufficient to allay the thirst of the mu
iik; from his abundant rye he makes
powerful brandy, called vodka, that
is high proof is well attested by tn

Discussing Communion.

AT meeting of Baptist ministers at
St. Louis, the question of using fer
or unfermcnted wine was con-
sidered, and the conclusion was that,
from II historical point of view, fer
mentcd wine should be used, as that,
highly diluted, was in vogue IN the
time of Christ. As for unfermented
wine, It might be used, provided It's
users did not want TO bind the consci-
ences Of their brethren and compel its
use. As for leavened bread or nn-
leavened bread, either might be used,
as the use of leayened bread by Christ
was mere accident at the fine, and
he did not command the use Of unlcav-
ened bread, but of "brcad.' Again
TO call the institution a supper was
misnomer, having no authority in tho
original. In the time of Christ there
was no midday meal corresponding
to dinner. but 6 o'clock dinner.

Mr.. Carlisle Explains The Attitude Of the
Two Parties on The Tax question.



Ina contribution to the Forum Of
september on the important question
of federal taxation. Mr. Carlisle. who
stands at the head of the Tariff ~
formers. makes the following clear
statement Of the issue, and OF the atti-
tude Of the Democratic and Republic
can parties unon it. The question for
the American people to decide Is viii
they accept the Republican plan Of re-
duelng taxes on alcoholic liquors; or
ths Democratic plan of reducing them
on the necessaries of life.
The only debatable question IS IN
what manner shall the revenue and
taxation be reducedg Upon this ques-
tion the two political parties are di-
vided. although there are some Repub-
licans who are inclined TO take the
Democratic view, and some Democrats
who favor the Republican policy. 1t
is clear that ii is possible to reduce
taxation to a certain extent without
reducing the revenue. The rates Of
taxation upon imported goods might
be made SO high that all importation
might cease, and the government
would thus be prevented from collect
mg any revenue whatever, from that
source. but this would not diminish
taxation upon the people. On the
contrary. it would greatly increase
their burdens, but they would be COM
PEELED to pay the whole tribute 20 t1e
domestic producer of the dutiable
| goods. instead of paying a part OF II TO
the government, as they do now.
To reduce both revenue and taxation
at the same tune is The problem now
presented, aud the true Democratic
solution Is to abolish, as far as practic'
able, the taxes ON the actual necessar
les of life and the raw materials usee
in their production, and to revise, SIM
plify and, in proper eases, reduce th'
I duties on the other articles embraced
) in the tariff sehednle. The prime oh
4 ieet should be to provide sulilclen
9 revenue for the support OF the govern
5 ment at least possible expense and IN
1 convenience TO the people who pay th
< taxes, AMI to impose the heaviest bun
l dens upon those who are able to II
q dulge in the use of luxuries rathe
II than upon those who consume onl
+. the common necessaries Of life. I'LL
d Republican solution is to repeal all III
$ internal taxes upon whisky, beer, an
N manufactured tobacco, and retain
% high rate Of taxation on the food an
t. fuel and clothing Of the people, and
in the building materials, and implemen

London. Oct. 26.-Mr. Spurgeon has
Withdrawn from the Baptist union. ID
announcing bis decision to withdrew
and replying to his critics, he says .
no pursue union at the expense oi
the truth is treason to jesus. To tam

traitors to him. We have before US
the wretched spectacle Of proiessedly

eall the fall of man fable, and deny

Replying to the question why ne

says that il is a question for which he
has no liking; that there are enough
denominations already, and thai # an,
